These bars are moist and have a perfectly spiced apple flavor. They taste like an applesauce cake - but in small bite-size bars. They are easy to prepare and make a perfect snack or dessert. True Cinnamon and Nutmeg go so well with the applesauce and the Clove Powder gives the bars just a small touch of extra spice taste that is so delicious. Enjoy!
